Everything but the Girl

Everything but the Girl
Everything but the Girl in den 90er Jahren

Everything but the Girl sind ein britisches Pop-Duo, bestehend aus Tracey Thorn (* 26. September 1962 in Brookmans Park, England) und Ben Watt (* 6. Dezember 1962 in London, England). Ihren bisher größten internationalen Hit landeten sie Mitte der 1990er Jahre mit der Single Missing.

Inhaltsverzeichnis

Geschichte

Everything but the Girl gründeten sich im Jahr 1982 an der Universität Hull, nachdem Ben Watt mit Tracey Thorn über eine Annonce am schwarzen Brett Kontakt aufgenommen hatte, um sie näher kennenzulernen. Die beiden wurden sowohl beruflich als auch privat ein Paar. Den Bandnamen entnahmen sie dem Werbeschild eines örtlichen Möbelhauses: "Wir verkaufen Ihnen alles fürs Schlafzimmer, außer dem Mädchen". Anfang 1983 hatten sie ihren ersten Auftritt im Londoner Institut für zeitgenössische Musik.[1]

Ihre erste Hit-Single hatten sie ein Jahr später mit Each and Every One. Lange Jahre galt die Gruppe als Geheimtipp. In den Jahren 1992/1993 mussten Everything but the Girl eine Zwangspause einlegen, da Ben Watt schwer am Churg-Strauss-Syndrom erkrankte. Im Jahr 1994 veröffentlichten sie ihr Album Amplified Heart. Mit dem Remix zu ihrer Single Missing, die nur auf Platz 68 der britischen Charts gelandet war, erlangten sie weltweit Beachtung. Auch die folgenden Singles Wrong und Walking Wounded waren Erfolge. In den folgenden Jahren veröffentlichten Everything but the Girl verschiedene Studio- und Remix-Alben. Im Jahr 2005 veröffentlichten sie ihr bislang letztes Album Adapt or Die – 10 Years of Remix.

Der Remix zu Missing stammte von Todd Terry. Der Song wurde kurz nach Veröffentlichung des Remixes von der Band No Mercy gecovert.
